Laura’s Story

You Can Get There. We're In Your Corner.

Laura Sylvia started Lavish with one belief: anyone can reach the goals they set, and no one should have to do it alone. She grew up in Long Beach, Mississippi, and studied engineering, pharmacy, and marketing at Ole Miss, where a single lesson in her first week of college never left her: you are your own brand. Represent yourself as such.

In 2019 she moved to Miami and found her people through fashion and community, and a nickname, Laurita, that became LauLau, the name behind Lavish. Since then she has produced events for up to 500 guests, opened Miami Swim Week annually, served as press secretary for a Miami mayoral campaign, and co-founded PRAI, a Forbes-featured PR and AI agency. She shares that path as proof that the next step is within reach.

That's why Lavish exists. We build the community, the presence, and the culture that help people feel seen, and we stay in your corner as you grow into it. Whatever you're working toward, you'll always have LauLau and the Lavish community behind you.
